Yeah.
I wanted to update for some reason.
I just didn't want to bother with taking pictures and loading them.
The face is doing fine.
I can now see my mustache just by looking down at my lip.
Seriously I think we passed the sweet spot, now its just bummish.
I'm starting to get things stuck in it. Yeah, you didn't need to know that, but now you do.
But alas, I must keep on. Nine more days. I'll miss it and I won't at the same time.
On another note...Thanksgiving Break is almost here!!! YES!!! Only tomorrow and we're home free!!!
Well not really, I still have to work a bit on Wednesday...but after THAT, I am literally home free! As in heading home to see my family!
And eat SO MUCH! I'm seriously giddy for Thanksgiving! I don't get to eat like this! Period! I am going to steal SO MUCH LEFTOVERS!!!!
ALSO, I'm super stoked for the official beginning of the Christmas season! Christmas is the best time period ever! So even though Mike and I have been listening to Christmas music for a week (yeah that's right, what're you gonna do about it? Huh??), I'm still pumped for it to be OFFICIAL!
BRING IT SEASONS GREETINGS!
Until next time...my mustache freezes in the cold Logan winter air...

NSN Day 15: The Halfway point
This is me. Halfway done. Mmm...maybe someday I will be able to grow a big full mountain man beard.
But this is what I got for now. Oh well.
It's my facial hair and I love it for who it is.
It's late. More later.

With a New Life come New Opportunities
I'm not a fan of writing big posts. And I realize you might not be a fan of reading them. But this one, this one is important.
It all started last Monday. Actually scratch that, it all started last September.
A guy came to my chemistry class asking if we wanted more info about summer internships. Without really thinking I wrote down my info, sure, why not, internships are good right? Sometime later I get a call asking me if I was still interested. I said yes and the guy on the other side of the call proceeds to give what felt to me like a mini job interview. Apparently I passed, because he set up another meeting for me to learn more. Sure, why not. But unfortunately I had to work during that time so...I didn't go.
Then last Monday I get a call. Apparently they didn't forget about me, they still wanted to meet with me. Gotta love their persistence. So I agreed to a meeting. This time I wasn't working. I go to the meeting and learn about this summer management program where you run your own small house painting business over the summer. Cool right? I decided to go for it.
The story does not end there.
The week before this meeting, my friend Shay had told me about another job opportunity. This job is a sales job, selling Living Scriptures products for 15 weeks over the summer. Then the day of my meeting for the other summer internship, she tells me there's a meeting for those interested in the job. Also, free pizza. Okay, I thought, I'll give it a shot, hear what they have to say. If nothing else I get free pizza right?
I go to the meeting and to be honest, I was quite impressed. It sounded like a great opportunity for adventure, to see new places, meet new people, gain new talents, learn more about myself, maybe win some cool prizes and vacations, and of course lets not forget the pay. Their goal was to have us make enough money in one summer so that we wouldn't have to have a job during the school year. Now I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch, but according them the average first year salesman makes around $15,000-$20,000 his first summer. Like I said, I didn't know how I would do but honestly, that's a lot of money to make in four months. Especially for a college kid like me, living from paycheck to paycheck.
If it had been just about the money, I wouldn't have done it. Really, I've heard of a lot of jobs like that. Sounds great for you, but not for me, I would think. This is different though. Number one, this is Living Scriptures we're talking about. Any normal Latter-day Saint child would recognize them. Heck, its how I learned all the Gospel stories, from Ammon to Alma and Amulek on down to Joseph Smith. I still remember those videos. So really, its something I felt good about selling to people.
Number two, I feel like the opportunity to live somewhere else, to work hard everyday, meet new people everywhere you go, would take me back to my old mission days. And I miss those days. Sure it won't be exactly the same but something about it just calls to me, excites me. A chance to push myself again, to learn about myself, to become a better person. That's the real reason I decided to do it.
The next day I set up an appointment for an interview. It had all the normal parts of a job interview, yet somehow I felt much better about it than in other job interviews. And at the end of it, he told that he really liked me and offered me the job right there and...well, I accepted! I know, it seems really soon and honestly, things could change before summer. But as of now I feel really good about it. I'm excited! It's gonna be real hard but hey, isn't everything that's worth doing?
As for that other job possibility, the program looks really awesome. I've researched it. In all truth I will probably do that in a future summer. If you're interested look up CollegeWorks Painting. Great program, great people.
If you haven't figured it out yet, yes, this means that this summer I will not be living here in Utah. I will be afar off in some part of the U.S. I have never been, mostly likely back east somewhere like Indiana, Kentucky, or New Jersey. Least that's what they tell me.
I'm excited. Brand New Life baby.
Until next time...can I interest you in a DVD set of animated Book of Mormon stories? Yes? I'll put you down for ten...

NSN Day 7, End of Week 1
After one week:
After one week, we are beginning to see the true potential of my facial hair.
While in some parts, namely the mustache/goatee area, it has grown quite long in a short period of time, there are other parts where it seems to be barely making its debut, namely the side burn area.
And I really wish it was thicker, and darker. But enough complaints, I'm actually starting to like it. It's really "growing on me". HAHA! A little beard humor for ya there.
But the month is young. I predict we are only seeing the beginning of a very beautiful thing.
On another note that I decided to talk about because I'm afraid you'll get bored reading about my facial hair for a month, Aggie Basketball has started!
Actually OFFICIALLY it starts this Friday with the opening game against BYU!!! It's gonna be insane!!! However we have had two exhibition games these past two weeks and I have to say, I'M HOOKED! I love Aggie basketball! Seriously folks, I don't think you know how much I get into it. I know all the cheers, I know the player's signs, and after every game my throat is sore from yelling! AWESOME!!!
I can already feel the romance blossoming...
Until next time...Cameron + USU Basketball = LOVE

| The close up. You can see it but...it leaves something to be desired. |
 |
| Far away shot. Like I said, there, but not super visible yet. |
 |
| The chin-ish area is pretty dark, but seems confined to a smaller area than I'd like. |
 |
| No glasses close-up. Eh, not too bad. You can't see the sides though. Its because its almost non-existent there right now. |

No Shave November: Day 4
How do I look? I know, the man beard is tender yet, but give it time friends, he's on his way.
However despite my enthusiasm I must also inject a little disappointment. It's coming in a little scruffier and less uniform than I thought. And really blond.
But overall I feel we're off to a good start. Four days in and we're already starting show!
Sure its gonna be in the awkward stage for a bit, but with our team spirit and determination we'll barrel right through it and on to a glorious bearded victory!
At least I hope so...but its too late to pull out now, I've got too much riding on this. Were I to give in at any point, I would be forced to endure never ceasing taunts and jeers from friends and roommates. And it would not be pretty.
So onward I trek, on my first bearded journey through life. Nothing can stop me now! Here's to hoping this month is good to me. Don't let me down beard!
Until next time...I can't stop stroking my face...mmm....

Introducing....NO SHAVE NOVEMBER! (Day 1)
I bet you have no idea what this post is about.
Alright I'll tell you.
This month I'm not going to shave !!
I know the name is tricky but yes, "No Shave November" means that I will not be shaving during the month of November.
Finally !! An excuse !!
This month is also "Movember" in some circles, meaning growing a mustache during this month. Movember is actually really cool though because it raises awareness, and money, for prostate cancer. Check it out here: "Movember US"
I might shave near the end of the month and just keep the 'stache. That way I can do both !!
So get used to it people !! This month I'm gonna be hairy !! Whether it looks good or not !!
I will be giving you updates from time to time so you can check my face's progress.
This is day 1:
Aren't you excited! I know I am. Even though sometimes I already feel like a dirty hobo. Awkward stage? Let's hope.
Until next time...grow beard grow !!
